Chapter 116: The Battle of Jinan (1)
,
There was a chapter missing yesterday, and I made up for it at about two o'clock at noon today~ Hmm...... That's it~ continue to shamelessly ask for votes, collections and all kinds of ......
=================================
At eleven o'clock on April 30, rows of black shadows approached Zhonggong Town in silence. So our light and heavy firepower remained in the tunnel according to your command. ”
Tu Qianjun closed his eyes and nodded when he heard this, and after a while, he ordered: "Everyone enters the tunnel, I estimate that the other party will charge after the first shelling." The order was to go down, and after the shelling was over, everyone entered the tunnel again, leaving only a few outposts to keep watch. Once it is found that the enemy's strength is too strong, then directly send someone to inform the artillery fire suppression! ”
"And! Send someone to inform the artillery battalion, don't use the howitzer for Lao Tzu first! Find out the enemy's artillery position and destroy their artillery positions directly with howitzers! ”
"Yes!" Chandinan is upright and should arrive. He immediately rushed out in a hurry and asked the communications squad to start informing the company-platoon-level front-line commanders in various places, while he personally went to the artillery position to be responsible for informing the artillery company about the arrangements of Tu Qianjun.
By one o'clock in the morning, "Boom! Rumble! Rumble! "Suddenly, the entire town of Zhonggong shook! On a small high ground five miles outside Zhonggong Town, Chen Cheng watched with a gloomy face as his subordinates operated a bombardment in front of hundreds of artillery pieces under the high ground. At this time, Guo Min's revolutionary army was actually extremely short of artillery, but the Feng army and the Jin army, as warlords, were more equipped with artillery.
The two artillery regiments under Chen Cheng's jurisdiction are actually all the belongings of the entire Northern Expeditionary Army, and there are 24 cannons of various types here that were sent by the Soviet Union during cooperation, and some were captured during the First Northern Expedition.
In short, this batch of more than 100 artillery pieces is mainly mountain and field artillery, and the equipment is extremely chaotic, including Japanese, Russian, German, and even old-fashioned Shanghai-made guns. Even if it is so, it makes the treasure of the Central Army of the Northern Expedition look like something. Even Jiang Zhongzheng thought twice before letting Chen Cheng, who was "always loyal to the commander-in-chief", come over to command the only artillery regiment of the two First Group Armies.
However, it was precisely because Jiang Zhongzheng was too nervous about these two only artillery regiments that they almost never participated in any battle of the Northern Expedition, and even many times they were arranged in the final sequence. I'm afraid that once there is a problem, these two artillery regiments will be lost. For this reason, Chen Cheng was also quite depressed, if he was born as a soldier, he could only be arranged in the rear if he went to the battlefield, which was really the most humiliating thing.
Moreover, the Northern Expeditionary Army did not say much about his Chen Cheng's strange words, what "only heard the enemy's artillery, our army's artillery was silent" said that the artillery regiment under his command Chen Cheng had not fired a single shot and had been following the sequence to mix military exploits.
But it is estimated that it will be about 150,000 people, and at this time, the troops of one army sent by each of the three legions to attack Zhonggong Town means that at least 60,000 to 80,000 of the most elite troops of the Northern Expeditionary Army have gathered on the east, south, and west sides of Zhonggong Town! After the end of the shelling, the town of Nakanomiya is about to be attacked!
Looking at the large cloud of dust that was kicked up in the light of the artillery fire, several troops who were ambushed around were extremely excited! This is the first time since they launched the Northern Expedition that they have attacked under the cover of artillery fire! For a while, everyone's ambition was full of ambition!
The 4th Battalion, on the other hand, squatted quietly in the artillery holes that had been dug for months, worrying about the brothers who were working as outposts outside, while waiting for the end of the artillery fire. Their tunnel fortification work was taught by Tu Qianjun's hand-held church, and these tunnels and fortification operations have passed the test of many battles such as the War to Resist US Aggression and Aid Korea and the Self-Defense and Counterattack War against Vietnam in later generations! In the face of the bombardment of the Northern Expeditionary Army, which only had more than 100 guns, such a complete and rigorous fortification showed no pressure.
Finally, in silence, the shelling of the Northern Expeditionary Army finally ended! When the officers and men of the 4th Battalion saw that the shelling was over, they rushed out of the artillery hole without the slightest hesitation under the leadership of the respective officers, and entered their respective tunnel fortifications as quickly as possible! At this time, the Northern Expeditionary Army, which was lurking about two miles in front of them, also issued a cry of charge! Tens of thousands of Northern Expeditionary Army suddenly rushed to the position of the fourth battalion like a tide for a while!
After all, the Northern Expeditionary Army attacked the elite of the "Sudden Sudden ......", and at the beginning they fired crane guns to cover their troops, while the charging infantry slowly advanced along the skirmish line and shell craters! From time to time, soldiers stopped and used the crater as cover to suppress and fire on the positions of the four battalions!
"Sudden ......" and "Da ......", and the four battalions are also unbearable! Light and heavy firepower entered the position immediately after the shelling, constantly strafing to suppress the opponent's charge and heavy fire cover fire! Those well-prepared snipers also played a role at this moment, after all, the fire of the heavy machine gun was quite noticeable in the dark night! This is their best target!
"Bang!" "Bang!" "Bang!" After a few shots, the heavy machine guns of the Northern Expeditionary Army suddenly fell silent! But then someone picked up the heavy machine gun and continued to "swoop ......" strafing! Continue to cover your troops with firepower!
